Well, after about a year or maybe a year and a half im finally getting back to my SN. I soaked everything down with wd 40 when i got back out to it.

What was decent paint now looks like it was finger painted by an infant, The fuel lines are now quite nasty, no doubt the battery passed away acouple months back. The ground bolt was loose so i attempted to tighten it up and it broke as soon as i looked at it. The starter now spins without engaging the bendix.

Thats about it that ive discovered so far, im sure there will be more.

i sure hope so, what really kills me is the reason i stopped riding it was i needed to rebuilt the carb. Would of taken no time at all, but instead i decided to change out the pipe and put a new carb and intake on. I took it apart, and then got really busy for the last year and havent been able to mess with it.

Not a problem caused by sitting around, but It seems that some of my problems are caused by water in the ebox, opening it up soon

it was under the awning of my back garage / workshop then later moved inside, not properly stored and thats probably the problem.

The puddle is freshwater since ive never taken it in salt, but when i first got the ski the Ebox had all stripped screws holding it together, i drilled and tapped them all but obviously theres still an issue that i dident know about with it

the carb and the pipe were off, just recently put the exhaust manifold on, but untill then i could see the pistons ect and they looked fine, not too worried about the whole thing, just have to put things back together really, and get a new battery. I have basically a whole 61x set up just laying around anyhow. Not saying it wouldent suck that my parts are F***ed but at least ill be able to ride again.
